Roster rehab, creative coaching lead to Packers' turnaround

[b bulldog]

Nick, kind of a smart comment after losing the first bet and the Cowboys are better imo, the Raiders never played them this season.

TT and MM should get all the credit. TT has put some very good talent together and MM reigned in Favre and has coached a young team to do some wonderful things.

[Scott Campbell]

Thompson hired McCarthy so he gets ALL the credit right?

Show me where anyone has said that Thompson gets ALL the credit.

I found out Jolly was out long term, KGB went down and so did Woodson all after the Carolina Sunday that I gave you the 10 point spread. I would have been more cautious iwth three of the players that I consider impact players on our defense out. Favre also had his worst half of football and I think the Oline can do a better job.

Yeah, it's a little cocky after losing a bet, but I still think you give the Cowobys more credit than they deserve and the Packers less than they deserve. We'll find out though.

hopefully you will be correct. If you are, the masses will be ecstatic!

Re: Roster rehab, creative coaching lead to Packers' turnaro

Favre was grumbling about the team's inactivity in free agency as recently as May.

Now the Packers will take an 11-2 record into Sunday's game in St. Louis, with the NFC North title already in hand. They can talk about the Super Bowl without anybody snickering

Yeah, good post 'buck. Is this, like, your "mea culpa" post, or are you still the lone TT antagonist in the world?

I hope you will take Favre's lead here and become sensible towars the great Packers GM.

Tarlam!

TT has to come up a long ways in my sight before I'd ever annoit him with the impressive accolade as GREAT PACKER GM.

Dam what has he won Tarlam?

I'm not the lone TT critic here either.

Maybe the rest of them just won't stand beside what they see.They are playing the passive - aggressive card.

I see it and tell it as I do.

I'm not into BS. . . PR. I'm not into being accepted or desiring to be seen as anyone other than what I am.

That's here. A really solid Packer and NFL fan Tarlam!. You'll never get the knife in the back from a man like me Tarlam!. I'll come down on ya head on and announced with previews.

I don't like TT's style of managing our team. I can't see it any other way than I have. He sucks out loud when it comes to being an opportunist.

Tarlam! Just two examples of TT's failure to get it done.

SEE RANDY MOSS !

SEE TERRELL OWENS !

SEE NEW ENGLAND VS DALLAS in this upcoming Super Bowl!

Take Randy Moss away fr. New England and add him to our side and what do you see?? TT failed to give us that. He as usual went to sleep at the wheel. Not acquiring Randy Moss and allowing him to go to New England alre4ady a stron team is not excusable.Especially given that we needed that man's obvious talent in the Green and Gold.

Ted Thompson either must change or go with what he is and never see us to the top as he sleeps away in his dreamy world of Thompson Ozzzzzz !!

PACKERS FOREVER!

[Tarlam!]

Well 'buck, he seems to be good enough for Favre. I just thought you'd be a man and step forward and admit you had erred on your judgement of TT.

It seems I was wrong and you still want to hold out hope that you are right. Of course, if you are right, the Pack need to go down the toilette.

But then, you will have poven the whole world wrong. That should make you feel great.

[Partial]

Woody I reckon if we had Randy Moss or Terrell Owens we'd be 11-2 or WORSE. We have the best receiving corps in the NFL imo. We have had plenty of success moving the ball without either of those two, so what difference would they really make other than taking them off another team?

That would be like signing a player to sit on the bench simply so he cannot play on another team. That is simply ridiculous.

Also, with one or both of those guys starting (TO is 34, Moss is 30), we would be missing out on the chance to develop young talent. That would leave the cabinets bear in a year or two. I am much happier with 22 and 23 year old Greg Jennings and James Jones doing an equally impressive job.

No man!!

Get the proper perspective on this argument.

It's not . . . ALL about. . . Ted Thompson but moreso Brett Favre.

Where would we be (really man . . try to get here. .; it's too easy) without Brett Favre's season?

Get to real Packer fan. NOT Geee. . . TT is just the BEST.

That is beyond Juvenile thinking.

Because that's very difficult to support to any Packer fan that is really on the watch. Even half awake to Ted Thompson's. . . Duhhhhh. . . ways.

I suspect even you could do a better job than that ' doe in the headlites ' Tarlam!

Lots of Packer fans here could exceed Ted Thompson's nothing much attitude and work sleepy ethic.

You'd simply have to try a wee bit.

Do . . . . some. . . . work.

Because he's terrible. A total SHAM !

[MJZiggy]

You sharing?

Because he's terrible. A total SHAM !

And we're all figments of your imagination...

I would agree with that side of the argument but I look at this fr. a standpoint of wanting Favre to win again.

Win now.

That would have been more obvious as a chance fr. the start of the season if TT had denied NE, Randy Moss. The cost was very decent for us and the upside HUGE!!!

To have the very best opportunity for that to be a reality or a Super Bowl apearance.

Randy Moss with Brett Favre exceeds Brett Favre and James Jones.

Is there any argument on that one?

We are smart and reasonable people here arn't we as a whole?

Then the answer is easy.

Nooooooo !!

It's always for me about Favre and what he deserves for all he's given to us as Packer fans.

He's managed to get there again this season. His dedication to us the fans again.

With his operation and outstanding off field workout regime, to get ready as BEST he could for us to see another Super Bowl game, with him behind center.

Favre tears ass Partial and that's a huge contrast to the HOhhhhhh Hummmm attitude that our lacadasial GM demonstrates clearly to us fans.

TT is in our faces slow, pondering and not prepared to take a chance.

He should be improving our team as best he can right now. NOT sitting back admiring his scenery.

He's not on the ball folks.

It would be very difficult for me to see it other than I surely do.

I must call a spade a spade.

I regret that TT is as he is because we are going to hurt for that.

Count on it.

Debate.

Don't just slam me.

Please.

I'm ready.

You're right. This team is a complete disaster with no shot at the play-offs.

[MJZiggy]

Woodbuck, just one quick little question if I may? What makes you think that Randy freakin' Moss would be willing to settle for being a 3rd string wideout?

Thx.
